Life is short. make some magic while you’re here. And pickles too.

Take a moment to roll in gratitude. make some beautiful food and don’t ever think that you’re better than anyone else because of money or for any other reason. we are all created equal.

Life can be hard. We run up against people who are thankless and cruel. There are horrible bosses, uncaring clients. It’s easy to pass on that crap to the rest of the world but why not change that tide. Why not replace it with gratitude and kindness, love and really really fabulous food?!

What would you do if it was your very last day at work? Tell people to bug off? Have a party? Kinda fun to think about. Make some awesome short ribs too.

It’s so much work hiding fear, hiding sadness, hiding fatigue, hiding weakness. Just let it out. Ask for help if you need it and make some gorgeous food while you’re at it.

For national coming out Day embrace who you are. love yourself. shout it out to the world and by the way I made a killer saffron butter sauce.

Life is short but it can be richer and fuller and I feel like it lasts 1 million years longer if we can fill our soul with joy and love and energy and bring it with us everywhere we go I poured some inner vortex energy into a beautiful soup what might you pour soul energy into?

If coleslaw can be Latin, Asian, Eastern European, Mediterranean and down-home American why can’t we be versatile too? Make your own vortex energy baby! Big shout to Sedona Arizona.

We just finished the Jewish high holidays which for me was all about forgiveness but somehow also about tacos don’t quite know how that happened but both are great.

September 11, when our lives changed. I honor the heroes. I honor those who gave from their heart and their soul. I honor everyone who we lost.
